Natural history texts as well as hunters often characterize the rhino as being vicious, antagonistic and perpetually ill-tempered, but not one of these epithets could be applied to Sally. She has the disposition of a pet feline and sometimes behaves disgustingly like one. In her relations with human beings she is usually gentle and affectionate, although upon occasions she may playfully attempt to mash a patting hand against the concrete wall of the enclosure. But it is not entirely without malice.
